| BSP Factory has been finally published by Binary People. The program will be officially announced by them probably sometime next week, but it is available for purchasing now for only $14.99, and there's a demo version on the website. Check the link on my signature. |

| Congratulations. Useful addition to Blitz. |
| ||
| Look forward to trying this one! ;) |
| ||
| Been waiting for something like this, so I can use Worldcraft/Hammer compile it into a .BSP (Halflife .BSP) and then use this program to convert it 100% perfect into BB3D format and lightmap it also. Just so im clear. Oh and did I miss the anouncement about BP being redone? cus it look well sweet now ;D. |
| ||
| Well, having purchased BSP Factory, I can say that first impressions are good. It works well, nice smooth work flow, and high quality results. |
| ||
| I tried the demo on one of the supplied BSP's .. Now, my PC isn't slow (understatement, with a 3.2ghz) but after half an hour still nothing had happened, so i assumed it hung up on me... Tracer |
| ||
| hmm that's very strange... anybody else has that problem? |
| ||
| I'd buy it Jedive, but obviously it needs to work on my system :) so if i can help in any way, lemme know. Tracer |

| Tracer - when you import a BSP file, you might need to turn the camera to look at it. Right-click in the blue window after you've loaded one in, and mouse the mouse around until you see the level. Use cursor keys to zoom around the map. Right-click again to 'release' the camera-look. Then click 'lightmap', put it on Medium and 1024x1024 and sit back and watch. |
| ||
| Dude, when i import a BSP, the whole program hangs, or is working on something that never ends :) Tracer |
| ||
| Does that only happens when you execute the bsp examples or also when you import a bsp on bsp factory demo itself? |
| ||
| It's only the import into the factory demo. The examples work fine. I import one of the BSP's that comes with the demo and then it hangs. Tracer |
| ||
| Try renaming the 'textures' folder to something else and then import the BSP. Loading a BSP without textures takes MUCH less time. But, even loading it with textures, shouldn't take that long. What are your system specs? |
| ||
| P4-3.2ghz Intel MB gig of ram Geforce FX 5900 Ultra SB Audigy 2 Win XP Pro SP1 Renaming textures folder resulted in the same thing.. hang up. Tracer |
| ||
| Whoa.. Nice Spec Tracer.. Very nice indeed |
| ||
| Bloody hell, what does that run like? I was thinking of upgrading to that *exact* spec (maybe a 256mb Radeon 9800 instead of the GeforceFX) |
| ||
| Hmm here is a extremely simple map that should not take longer than 1 second to load: http://www.galeon.com/jedive/storage/test.zip Tell me if it also hangs your computer. Oh! And here's a pic of the first beta of BSP Factory 1.1, with a Windows native interface:  |
| ||
| Jedive, it seems that wherever you have that picture and test BSP, doesn't want to download for me. On my specs, yeah, it runs VERY nicely :) Tracer |
| ||
| Tracer - try this mirror. |
| ||
| That one works. The arttest one and the demo one coming with the BSP Factory demo are the ones that hang up. Tracer |
| ||
| tracer would you make a small map of your own and see if it also hangs your computer? This is very strange, and it seems you're the only person with such problems. |
| ||
| sure, will do that tonight. Tracer |
| ||
| Jedive Whwn I click on the map properties the properties window doesn't display fully, it seems to only display about the top 60 or so pixels, this is on a custom map but works ok on the demos. Also it would be nice to be able to use subdirectories within the textures folder. nice job okee |
| ||
| That's fixed for version 1.1 okee. About the subdir option, I take note of it. |
